Templates for Monitoring Studio X

This GitHub repository is a public collection of Templates for Monitoring Studio X, a monitoring solution developed by Sentry Software.

In a BMC TrueSight Operations Management environment, Monitoring Studio X will integrate natively as a regular KM for PATROL. But a single standalone PATROL Agent with Monitoring Studio KM will be enough to cover a small environment (less than 200 servers, typically).

>>> Check out the available Templates <<<

Prerequisites

You will need:

• Monitoring Studio X (obviously)
• BMC PATROL Agent (any version will do)

How to use a template

Each template is in a separate sub-directory in ./templates.

Download the .cfg file and import it in Monitoring Studio X.

In Monitoring Studio X, create the Host you want to monitor with this Template and apply the Template.

Read carefully the associated README.md for instructions on the required configuration and technical prerequisites of the Template.

Support and Maintenance

To be clear: these monitoring Templates may be provided by Sentry Software, but they are provided for free and no support or maintenance is guaranteed on these from Sentry Support. Monitoring Studio X itself, however, is fully supported (if you are an entitled customer!).

Problems with these templates can be raised on GitHub as an Issue. If you find a problem with a Template, DO NOT HESITATE to fix it yourself and share with the community! See the Contributing section below! :-)
